Start a Deriv site of your own or join ours

If you want to start a Deriv site of your own, you have two honest routes: build the thing yourself, or point people at a site that already exists and earn a share of what comes of it. This post sets out what each one asks of you in time, skill and patience, so you can pick before you spend a month finding out the hard way.

Neither route is a shortcut to money. Trading loses money for a lot of people, and a site built on top of trading inherits that fact. Whatever you build or promote, the people who follow you will sometimes lose, and the way you write to them has to account for that.

Building your own means becoming a software project

A Deriv site is not a landing page. The moment a visitor expects to see live prices, a signal, a digit read or a running bot, you are maintaining software that talks to Deriv in real time and keeps talking when the market moves fast.

The work splits roughly into these pieces:

• A connection to Deriv's API, and sign in through Deriv's own OAuth screen so the trader never hands you a password.
• Permission handling. Trading permission lets an app read the account balance and place trades. It does not allow withdrawals or moving money, and your site has to be built so that stays true.
• Market data that keeps up. Tick streams for the synthetic indices do not pause while your server restarts.
• Contract logic for Deriv's own contract types, such as rise and fall, higher and lower, and the digit contracts.
• Risk controls. A loss limit and a target that actually stop the thing, tested, not assumed.
• Hosting, uptime, error logs, and someone awake when it breaks.
• Support. Every trader who cannot log in writes to you, not to anyone else.

Then there is the part people underestimate: being found. Guides, country pages, translations, and enough patience to wait months for any of it to rank. BancaBot's own site is written in English, Portuguese, French, Indonesian, Spanish, Arabic and Swahili, with country pages for Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the UAE. That volume of writing is the job, not a side task.

If you have the skills and you want to own the product, this is a real path. Go in knowing it is a software project with a content project bolted to it.

Joining ours means bringing people, not code

The other route is to skip the building and use what is already running. You send traders to BancaBot, they sign in with their own Deriv account, and the affiliate programme is how you earn from that. Your work is audience, trust and honest writing.

What you are pointing people at:

• AI Signals, which reads the market and shows one call per market with the reasoning behind it. The trader decides what to do with it.
• Auto Trader, which places trades from those signals and stops at the limits the trader sets, including a loss limit and a target.
• Digit Trader and the digit analyzer, which read the last digits of Deriv's synthetic indices and show one pick for the next tick, with every card that led to it.
• Bot Forge, a block based bot builder with a library of free bots that can be loaded, changed and run, and which reads bot files from the older builders.

The markets are the ones Deriv offers: the synthetic indices including Volatility 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 and their one second versions, forex pairs and gold. The signals, the analyzer and the free bot library are free to use, and no account is needed to read the guides. There are paid plans for the premium bots, and the pricing is on the site.

The two routes side by side

Both routes need you to understand the tools first

Whichever way you go, you cannot write usefully about something you have not used. Open a demo account, sign in with Deriv, and spend real sessions with the signals, with a free bot, and with the digit analyzer before you tell anyone else about them.

A demo account is the sensible place to start, and it is also where you learn the questions your readers will ask. How do you load a bot file. What does the XML from an old builder do when you bring it across. Where is the stop loss set, and does it hold. Why did a volatility index run do one thing on demo and another thing on a real account. If you have answers from your own screen, your writing is worth reading. If you do not, it shows.

You should also be clear with yourself about what you will never say. No promised win rate, no guaranteed return, no talk of passive income. A site that sets expectations it cannot meet collects angry readers, and the angry reader is the one who tells everybody.

How to choose between them

Pick building if you write code, you want to own the product, and you are prepared to maintain it for years. Pick joining if your strength is explaining things to people and you would rather spend your hours on a YouTube channel, a Telegram group or a set of written guides than on a bug queue.

There is also a middle path that costs nothing to try. Start as an affiliate, learn what your audience actually asks for, and build something later only if you find a gap the existing tools do not fill. That way the build is answering a known question instead of guessing at one.

If joining sounds like the better fit for the time you have, read the terms on the Earn with us page and start from there.
